Goodwill, Girl Scouts, Junior League Collab on the Runway

Coconut Telegraph

Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida and Goodwill Manasota are partnering with Junior League of Sarasota to host the Little Black Dress with Pop! fashion show on Friday, July 22. The event will feature Junior League role models wearing little black dresses selected at area Goodwill retail stores and then embellished with a pop of color, with the help and creativity of local Girl Scouts. Junior League participants were teamed up with Girl Scouts to select simple black sheaths and then create looks to rival those on Project Runway. The girls interviewed the adult participants about their professional development and learned about what their jobs entail. During the mentoring session, Miss Central Florida 2016 and former Girl Scout, Samantha Hyatt, stopped in to give an inspirational talk to the Girl Scouts. She also provided some pointers to the Junior League models on posing and walking the runway.
